I sorta thought about something like that as we were towing it home...I tried putting it in gear when we got up to 30 on F Road, but nothing happened, not even a bit of discernable drag.


If you only put it in "D", it wouldn't have enough gearing to turn the motor. You'd have to drop it in 2nd, or maybe even 1st to get enough "umph" to turn the engine.... still don't know if it can be done on our trucks - and without damage.

Oh, you'd also have to have the ignition switch on, which I guess you did in order to steer it, but you'd need it in the run position... 40 years ago you could also steer without the key switch on.... heck, 60 years ago they had a starter button.... I used to love those things on '40 Fords and Chevy trucks.... something about pushing that button that really appealed to me... same thing on diesel boats. I guess it's the feeling of power at your fingertips... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
